I chose medicine as a career because it best integrates my curiosity for the sciences and my love for helping people.
I’ve found that for many of us health isn’t one of our top priorities. That has certainly been the case with me at at times. What I do value, however is my wife, son, and the rest of my family. I value meaningful relationships with friends, having fun, and riding motorcycles. My health is the vehicle that enables me to take part in the things I really love. That’s why I make health a priority, because I want to ride motorcycles with my great-grandkids.
For most of us, health doesn’t become a priority until it deteriorates to the point where we can no longer participate in the things that bring us joy and purpose. Perhaps this sounds familiar to you? This is the crux of why I do what I do.
